It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn here at The Book Date.
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.
Well last week was mainly a wet week, yet warm. Strange weather for late Autumn.
Saturday night (our time) I watched the coronation of King Charles in England. Such ceremony. I stumbled off to bed at midnight as they left the church.
I had a good reading week, My Oxford Year was a very good listen, although not quite what I expected. Take My Hand was outstanding and opened my eyes to shocking injustice.

My Name is Lucy Barton is an excellent slow read. I listened to it so I got through it rather fast but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had taken it slowly and savored it. I’ve watched bits and pieces of the coronation and am fascinated. I love all the history and symbolism behind the ceremony.

I’ve been hearing great things about Take My Hand – would like to read it. And I have a LOT of catching up to do with Elizabeth Strout – I read (and enjoyed) Olive Kitteridge but haven’t read any of her others yet!
Enjoy your books this week, Kathryn –

I turned the television on at the very moment the crown was placed on the king’s head! I continued to watch until the coverage ended on this particular channel. I’m glad I saw it. I hope you enjoy your reading this week and the wet weather pauses for a while.

I hope so.
Enjoy your week and your books, Kathryn.

I meant to take a look for at least 5 min at the coronation, but I forgot

I didn’t get around to watching the Coronation…but I may still do it. I am still awed by having watched the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth when I was very young.
Enjoy your books!

I’m sure you will enjoy The Wonderful Thing About Phoenix Rose. I still have Take My Hand to read but I’m just not up for the sadness right now.
Wishing you a happy reading week

I only saw a little of the coronation. I didn’t have a chance to watch much of it.
Your books look good. I want to read the Elizabeth Craig series. I hope you have a great week!

I missed the coronation, I kind of wanted to see it. It’s finally warmed up here a bit after being cool and rainy all week.
